Speckled Goose????

[mfisch2003]

Killed a different kind of goose tonight but not sure what kind it is? Never seen anything but canada geese in our area. It has a orange beak and orange feet? heres a couple pics

looks like a canaspeck(canada/speck) to me.... lol usually the orange feet is what you look for on them.

I would guess it is a cross between a canada and a farm goose. Looks like a big bird and that bird just doesnt have the right specs to match up to a spec and canada cross other than the feet.

looks like a mallard goose ......lol............

It is likely a Juvenile Speck. The orange feet plus the orange beak with just a little bit of white feathers starting to show, and lack of dark blotches blotches on chest are the main indicators. As the seaon progresses, the white feathers around the beak continue to form/increase and the dark blotches "specks" on the breast of the bird develop. It is not a cross, looks exactly like juvie speck.

I see a white patch on the side of its head.... definately possibly a farm/canada

I agree, its hard to miss the white cheek

Here's some evidence poiting to Nathan's guess, but I'm still not 100% sure.

That looks exactly like it.. Probably just a young hybrid
